Hey guys, I'm trying to get my new Apple keyboard working on a PC. All the keys work so far.. but since I have the edition without a numpad, I also lack the End / Home and Del keys which are quite essential to Windows.

 

Is there a way to activate the FN key, so I can get standard Mac behaviour (e.g. FN + Backspace for Del?? etc)? It's kind of confusing that I can't press CTRL+ALT+DEL and open the tas manager.. or simple things like that. You can only type really.

 

 

I've read many articles about BootCamp etc. but again, I didn't install Vista on a Mac, but have it on a PC. Furthermore, my keyboard is not recognized as an Apple Keyboard, but acually as a standard 'HID keyboard device' which seems to be a Vista specific problem.

 

So I tried installing the entire BootCamp app, but ended up having not enough privileges. It then killed some of the other hardware in my system (sound card) and I had to re-install everything. Moreover, if you want to boot, with Boot Camp on a PC with Vista it freezes for 15 sec at every start?!

 

Is there any way around this or did anyone got it working?? Please also note, that simple remapping can't be used, because it is the small edition..

 

Thanks for any help!!
